Comrade's revision suggestions, please deliver to Enlai within the day, so that we may discuss them tomorrow or the day after.

Mao Zedong
February 21

There once appeared within our Party notorious renegades such as Chen Duxiu and Zhang Guotao, all of whom were agents of the class enemy inside our Party. We waged serious struggles to expel these renegades. Some comrades find the Gao Gang–Rao Shushi anti-Party alliance an incomprehensible phenomenon; this is because they do not understand the Party’s history, the history and current state of class struggle.

Deliver immediately to Comrade Hu Qiaomu:
After reading this document, please forward it to Comrade Enlai for review. It would be best if it could be passed at the Politburo meeting today or tomorrow, and printed and distributed to participants of the Party representative conference tonight or tomorrow night.

Return to Comrade Deng Xiaoping:
There are some revisions on pages 2, 11, 22, 29, and 30.
Mao Zedong
March 22

Note:
These are primarily textual revisions made by Mao Zedong to the *Report on the Gao Gang–Rao Shushi Anti-Party Alliance*, one of the documents issued on March 19, 1955, for the National Conference of the Communist Party of China. Among them:
On page 2, Mao changed the original report’s phrase “Our Party has become the ruling party” to “Our Party has become the ruling party nationwide.”
On pages 11 and 30, he deleted the word “individualist” from the two instances in the original report referring to “Gao Gang and Rao Shushi’s bourgeois individualist careerism.”
On page 22, he deleted the word “particularly” from the sentence “Rao Shushi’s right-leaning capitulationist ideology caused particularly severe harm to the work in Shandong Province,” and noted in the margin: “The word ‘particularly’ should not be used here, because the harm Rao caused to Shanghai may be even greater than that to Shandong.”
On page 29, he changed the phrase “The Politburo of the Central Committee holds that” in the fifth section of the original report to “The Central Committee holds that.”
